Although I have been able to compile Xmrig on my Rpi 4, none of your recent crypto builds worked.  I finally was able to purchase an Rpi 5 from Adafruit and will try again.

I have several Orange Pi 5 boards mining Verus coin.  I'll be able to check the Rpi 5 hashrate in comparison.

I think I missed this point. The Windows builds won't work on RPI or OPi, they're for X86_64 not Arm.
If you have problems compiling on RPi (or OPi) with Linux it's probably missing packages. It may depend on how you install Linux.
If you installed from an custom image file it may not have all necessary packages. I installed using using normal installation
procedure for Ubuntu using the Arm server ISO and had no issues compiling afterward.

THE CODE COMPILES
=============

My Rpi 5 and Opi 5 units, also my Rpi 4, have all successfully compiled v24.1.  I used the "ARMv8" build script after finding a hint in the above reply. The "necessary packages" may have been missing.

After using your very latest prerequisite string, the build went to completion.  The executable worked on each unit, printing out help.txt and Version info in each case.  But, the Rpi 4 errored out when attempting to mine YescriptR16, likely due to its incomplete set of crypto instructions.  It is currently mining Zephyr with XMRIG 6.20, slowly.

The Rpi 5 mines Verus at about 4850kH/s, the Opi 5 units at about 6800kH/s.  They are using Oink's ccminer.  I also have some older CPUs mining Verus with Monk's ccminer.

Perhaps you should look into a CCminer-Opt branch?  A fine tune may really improve performance.  Monk's version gets a lot of rejects at times.       --scryptr
